position of a positively ravishing char
acter. What wonder, we repeat, that
the sweating workers in iron and in
the bowels of the earth should think
that new Messiah had come?
The number of profound reasoners
and thinkers i'm the world is ever
lamentably small, while the ranks OF
sufferers are legion. There is not one
workingman in five hundred who re-
members anything about Anacharsis
Clootz, and there are few who ever
call to mind the disappointing and un-
real phantasmagorias rolled out before
the eyes of the populace in the first
French Revolution. The great mass
of the followers of George and McGlynn
do not know that they are being made
the victims of a CHASTITY mockery, and
that nothing substantial or enduringly
amelioratiye lies behind the audacious
theories of these empires.
In one of Shakspeare's plays a
drunken tinker is found by lot OF
registering young lords asleep in the
gutter. They pick him up, strip him,
clothe him in purple and fine linen,
and put him in the bed of Il lord
and, after enjoying his eccentricities
they again make him drunk, reclothe
him in his identical rags, and again
leave him in the gutter where they
found him. The poor fellow was none
the better permanently for his brief
lived metamorphosis. No more will
be the blind followers of George and
McGlynn.
While a new and splendid era has
dawned for the workingman, George
and McGlynn are not its apostles.
The workingman knows that he must
work out his own salvation, and that
| in doing so he will not be helped one
iota by such visionary leaders-whc
are rather political will-o'-the-wisps
than leaders. His social and political
Moses is personified in Industry, Per
severance and Intelligence. He knows
well that the only sure way of abolish
ing poverty is for every man to be hi'
own leader in the lines of self-help
which, since the beginning of the
world, have made men rich ant
great. In the present age, as in that
of Solomon, the industrious man shal
stand before Kings, and few men who
are sound of mind and body and skill
full in their crafts, as well as diligent
in them, will be found running after {
team which, in some respects, recalls
Patterson with his Darien delusions
and Law with his Mississippi craze.

THE business affairs of the Los An
geles Normal School are in confused
condition on account of the failure OF
the Governor to appoint Trustees.
Under the law passed last winter a
change was made in the Directorate.
Prior to the establishment of the Los
Angeles institution there were five
Trustees, appointed by the Governor,
who administered the affairs OF the
State Normal School at San jose.
When the Branch School was estab-
lished here, these same Directors as
sumed control of its affairs; but last
winter the law was changed, and a
special Board of Trustees was required
for the Los Angeles school. Mr.. O..
w. Childs, member of the old State
Board, was transferred to our Board, q,
but no other Trustee has since been
appointed. The fiscal year ended on
the 30th of June, and since that time
there has been no authority to audit
bills or draw warrants. The conse-
quence is, that the business of the
Normal School is in arrears, and seri-
Gus difficulties are encountered by the
Principal, Professor More, in running
the institution. Governor Bartlett
ought to appoint the rest OF the
Trustees without delay.

THE HERALD has been asked what
progress is being made toward inaug-
urating the work of paving Main and
Spring streets. The assessments of
the frontages on both streets have
been made and notices served, and
the property-owners have till the 26th
OF this month to pay in their quotas.
Under the Constitution the payment
of the assessment is a condition prece-
dent to the commencement of the
work. AT that time it is presumed
the money will be paid in and the con-
tractors notified to 90 on. These, we
understand are prepared to start and
rush along the work as rapidly as pos
sible. They have tons OF the paving
material on hand, and all the plant
for doing the work is ready. The
season is quickly wearing away, and
the people are anxious that our princi-
pal streets shall be paved before the
rains set in. There should be no
hitches-no delays.

AT the banquet given to President
Cleveland at his old home, Clinton,
New York, the Chief Magistrate of the
nation made speech which contains
some very well-timed reflections upon
what Il President should be. In the
course of his remarks he said;
If your President should be not of
the people and one of your fellow-citi-
zens, he would be utterly unfit for the
position, incapable of understanding
the peoples wants and careless OF
their desires. That he is one of the
people implies that he is subject to
human frailtv and error, but he should
be permitted to claim little liberation
for mistakes. The generosity of his
fellow-citizens should alone decree
how far good intentions should excuse
his shortcoming. Watch well then
this high office, the most precious
possession of American citizenship.
Demand for it the most complete de-
votion on the part of him to whose
custody it may be entrusted, and pro-
tect it not less violently from un-
worthy assaults from without. Thus
will you perform Il sacred duty to your
selves and to those who may follow
you in the enjoyment OF the freest in-
stitutions which heaven has ever
vouchsafed to man.
Any man who should reach that
high office, and yet be one who was
not in heart and mind in full sympathy
with the people, might become dam
gerous, as he certainly would become
an unpopular, incumbent. The idea
is sound that the Chief Magistrate
should be from and of the people. He
should be essentially American, not
only by birth and training, but by
feelings and interest; and whilst he
should be carefully scrutinized in all
his public acts, yet mere human
errors ought not to be condemned
with that severity that belongs alone
to persistent mal-administration.

fun at the enterprise of our real estate

later they were all fighting for their lives and

Dangerous Counterfeit Coin.

The inability of counterfeiters to produce
exact or indistinguishable representations Of
bank notes will tend, I think, to cause that
enterprise to be given up in the near future,
and operations confined to alleged coin only.
l think it will be carried on by persons of
genius. skilled in the working of metals, and
of totally different stamp from the ordinary
plaster mold fiends. 1t would be almost i'm
possible to detect gold coins 10 per cent alloy.
1t is possible to get the weight of such exact
ly the same as the genuine, and the difference
in the size can be made almost imperceptible.
To do this it would be necessary merely to
subject the coin to sufficient pressure over
that employed at the mints Such a coin it
would be almost impossible to detect in the
ordinary run of business. Acids are not to
be relied on always, and the weight. ring, and
size being near the genuine, 1t would require
tho expertness of one whose life is devoted to
such work to detect the difference. In places
where a great deal Of money is handled,
have no doubt that in a few years an expert
will be employed to do nothing but weed out
the counterfeits-GlobeD Democrat

Georgia Dialects.

In former days Georgia-that is the great
crackerdom of Georgia-was settled from
little colonies of other states and countries.
Thus, each section preserved traces OF the
local dialect spoken in the region whence the
settlers emigrated. In the mountain countries
people say "we'uns' and "you'uns." "kin
you'uns tell we'uns the way" etc. In wire
grass Georgia these expressions are not used
except in rare instances. In the mountains
they call it a skunk o bread" meaning a
piece. In the wire grass it is "cbunk o
bread" So it goes What is common in one
section is strange i'll another.
What is said of the whites is especially true
of the negroes. The negroes of the northern
and middle counties speak dialect that is in
many ways different from the outlandish
gibberish jabbered by the salt water darkies,
whose gable is about as Ineligible as the
chatter of rice birds that infest their own
tide water plantations. And yet the guileless
author viii hear a conversation between two
city hackmen and retire to his study and

the tarwheel twaddle and the talk of the

they may, the German chemist points out,

One Of the Flock Died.

An Inverness-shire shepherd was visited
every six months by his priest, to whom he
complained of his inability to remember his
"Pater noster." The priest replied, Il believe
you shepherds know each of your sheep by
head mark" and on Duncan answering in
the affirmative, the priest recommended him
to place his sheep in a row and associate with
each of them a word in the Lords prayer.
Thus, the first in order was to represent
"Pater," the second "Noster," and SO on to the
end of the prayer. In that way he assured
the shepherd he would easily commit bis
"Pater noster" to memory. At his next visit
he asked Duncan how he was getting on!
"Grand, your reverence" was the reply.
"Let me hear you" said the priest Duncan
-"Pater noster, qui es in coelo nomen tuum. I"
